    I have a strange feeling about this one - while it may be the last game at White Hart Lane, and we will most likely be fielding a team of youngsters mixed with people like Rooney and Carrick, I got a feeling we may just upset the odds and pull off an unlikely win or draw, similar to how West Brom gave SAF a 5-5 send off in his last game in charge.

    Hope to see the youngsters play and put up great performances.
     
    I think Herrera will be rested for this one, play v southampton and again rested for Palace game.
     
    Could just possibly be an opportunity for one or two youngsters here. No doubt at all they'll have Rashford's example in mind if they do get a chance.
     
    Be class if we beat them but can see us playing a lot of youth today so wouldn't be surprised if they rolled us over, wouldn't bother me as our eyes will rightly be all on the final.
     
    Neither side with anything to play for really, apart from potentially a bunch of kids wanting to make their name.

    It's never ok to lose, the game may be less meaningless for the fans but if the players have any professional pride they'll still do everything they can to win.

    There's no excuse not to give our all and try and get something from the game, even if it's only pride.

    I am not saying it's ok to lose. Maybe my sentence formation was wrong. I meant, a loss is not going to affect our standing in the league and there shouldn't be an over reaction if we do lose.
     
    Think McTominay, despite being 6ft4, will be psychically man handled by the likes of Wanyama, Dembele and Dier. To be fair, most players are.

    With Fellaini suspended, Pogba not being in the squad and Herrera needing a rest, I've gone with outlandish decision and have opted to start Phil Jones next to Michael Carrick in s 4231.

    He's hasn't played as a CDM in a while, but he has played it before. Partnered with Carrick, Jones can worry about breaking up play and simply distributing it to those who are more creative than himself.

    This is something Mourinho has done before, where he put Zouma in midfield next to Matic to kind of look after Fellaini, and it worked.

    De Gea
    Tuanzebe Bailly Smalling Blind
    Jones Carrick
    Mata Mkhitaryan Rooney
    Martial

    Willock, McTominay, Lingard    ​
     
    Tottenham have the "last ever game at WHL until we move like 20 feet away" trophy to win. They won't be letting up now.

    Fair do's, I just hope we dont roll over, at least if we get beat we need to give a decent account of ourselves and go down fighting.

    That's what makes sense for all those playing the final, but Mourinho might mix it a bit for morale.

    Sure, that's an intelligent way to put all the center-backs in the team, but I wouldn't play Blind today. Not seeing Mourinho going for it, though.

    Spurs have won 16 out of 18 games at home. Undefeated at the Lane all season.

    Their best ever premier league home season.

    Would be lovely to knick it.

    Would be hilarious if we managed to win with our second team.
     
    Can't remember the last time United were such heavy underdogs for a match. Spurs are just 1.70 odds to win, United 5.75 to win. :eek:

    So, two of them not on the squad prediction list. I would have picked Mitchell to start.
     
    I just don't rate Willock, mctominay or olusunde at all. Hope Demi gets some time but he is pretty suspect defensively. Wish Joe Riley wasn't injured and gribbin was a bit more ready. Would rather Harrop get some token minutes as well.
     
    M.E.N. clutching at straws again?

    Youngsters to be involved?
    Looking at the young players getting off the bus, Matty Willock and Matthew Olosunde had back packs getting off the bus, while Scott McTominay had a washbag.

    Demi Mitchell was empty handed.

    Might mean nothing, but an interesting debate ahead of team news.

    Mourinho has taken a 21 man squad, including three goalkeepers. That means two outfield players will miss out - but at least two of those youngsters will get on the bench.

    Gone for 5-0 because there isn't anything bigger than that.

    Fancy Kane to break his duck against us and score hat trick with Alli and Son also chiming in with a goal each.

    Disastrous season about to get a whole lot worse. We better win the EL.

    I'd say transitional as opposed to disastrous. If United finish 6th in the PL (or 5th) and win the EFL and Europa League, it's not ideal but Rome wasn't built in a day.
